Chapter 61

Because the exam had just ended, only the candidates who were in the same examination room as Zhou Xiang knew the exact situation, so various versions of the story were flying around.

Some said that the cheating student brought a pager into the examination room but forgot to switch it to vibration mode, and was caught red-handed by the invigilator. Others said that the student was caught looking at cheat sheets, and the invigilator found dozens of them on him. The most exaggerated version was that the cheating student forcibly took someone else's exam paper and even fought with the invigilator.

In short, the news that a student from No. 2 High School had cheated had already spread. The candidates' attention to this matter was second only to the standard answers for the exam.

Jiang Ping quickly found his class group outside the school gate. There were already eyewitnesses who had told everyone about Zhou Xiang's cheating. Many people found it hard to believe, as Zhou Xiang's grades were very good, and it seemed there was no need for him to cheat.

Seeing Jiang Ping come out, Li Qian, who was not in the same examination room as him, quickly asked in a low voice, "Did Zhou Xiang really cheat?"

"He was caught red-handed by the invigilator," Jiang Ping said to the girl, pretending to be surprised. "He not only brought a pager but also had cheat sheets. He was taken away by the invigilator, and it looks like he's in big trouble!"

Noticing that Wang Fang was nearby, Jiang Ping deliberately raised his voice so that the aggressive middle-aged woman could hear clearly. Since he knew that Zhou Xiang's parents had pressured the police station not to take Zhou Xiang back for investigation, Jiang Ping had no good feelings towards them. With the opportunity to strike back, he certainly wouldn't let it go easily.

Wang Fang was already stunned by the news of her son's cheating. She never expected such a thing to happen. However, after hearing Jiang Ping's words, the fat middle-aged woman seemed to find an outlet for her emotions and shouted at him, "Impossible, my son would never cheat! You are jealous of him, so you are deliberately saying bad things about him! Whoever dares to say my son cheated, I will tear their mouth apart!"

"Enough!" Before Jiang Ping could say more to provoke Wang Fang, Li Linxiang, who had been silent, shouted at her, "Students are spoiled by parents like you. The situation is not clear yet, I will go and find out more! Before the exact news comes out, no one is allowed to mention this matter again, do you hear me?"

Jiang Ping noticed that Li Linxiang's face was very grim, clearly very angry. However, Jiang Ping could understand, as Li Linxiang had always been very strict with the students. The fact that a student from his class had cheated in the college entrance exam was indeed hard to accept.

Knowing that this matter had embarrassed Li Linxiang, Jiang Ping could only silently think, "Old Li, I'm also doing this for your precious daughter, so bear with it!"

Although Wang Fang was a shrew, she didn't dare to act rashly in the face of Li Linxiang's angry face and turned away from him. Li Linxiang, of course, wouldn't argue with a woman of such low quality and hurriedly went to find the invigilator to ask about the details.

In fact, Zhou Xiang's cheating was the only incident at the Jiangpu High School examination site and even the first in the city. Therefore, the education authorities at all levels took this matter very seriously, and a conclusion was quickly reached.

Zhou Xiang was confirmed to have cheated without a doubt. Although he kept claiming innocence, to others, this was just his unwillingness to accept punishment. It only made his "attitude towards confession" worse, leading to a more severe punishment.

After the nature of the incident was confirmed, the punishment was quickly announced. Zhou Xiang was disqualified from the Chinese exam, and his score was zero! This decision alone was enough to ruin Zhou Xiang's college entrance exam this year. No matter how good his other scores were, without a Chinese score, getting into a junior college would be considered lucky.

However, due to Zhou Xiang's extremely poor "attitude towards confession" and the fact that he openly brought a pager and cheat sheets into the examination room, the impact was very bad. Therefore, the education bureau decided to impose additional penalties, disqualifying him from all subjects in this year's college entrance exam and banning him from taking the exam for three years!

If the first penalty only ruined Zhou Xiang's college entrance exam this year, the second penalty completely closed the door to his college entrance exam. Not being allowed to take the exam for three years meant that Zhou Xiang would have to repeat three years of school, which neither the school nor he himself could accept.

Jiang Ping learned about the handling of Zhou Xiang's case at school. Because of this incident, all the students from No. 2 High School were called back to school after the exam, and the principal personally repeated the examination rules and announced the handling of Zhou Xiang's case.

As Zhou Xiang's homeroom teacher, Li Linxiang, after the school assembly, brought the students back to the classroom for further education. This incident was a significant blow to him. Having taught for decades, Li Linxiang always believed that a student's character was more important than their grades. If Zhou Xiang had just performed poorly, Li Linxiang wouldn't have been so upset, but the fact that his student had cheated was truly embarrassing.

No one knew that the instigator of this incident was sitting in the classroom, listening seriously to Li Linxiang reiterate the examination rules and the importance of honesty.

To be honest, Jiang Ping couldn't agree with Li Linxiang's words. After all, in his previous life, he was a famous thief and had done many illegal things. Talking about honesty with such a person was like talking to a cow about the moon.

In Jiang Ping's view, one could be honest with honest people, but talking about principles with those who were not good was just making things difficult for oneself.

Take Zhou Xiang's case, for example. He was clearly the culprit behind the incident at the school gate, not only trying to ruin Jiang Ping and Li Qian's college entrance exam but also trying to destroy the girl's entire life. However, because of his parents' protection, he almost escaped punishment. In such a situation, talking about principles was useless. To deal with someone like Zhou Xiang, one had to be ruthless. Not only should he be knocked down, but one should also step on him, which was Jiang Ping's style.

The incident of Zhou Xiang's cheating had a significant impact on the senior students of No. 2 High School. However, this was just one person's matter, and the other students still had to continue with their exams.

In the following two days, Jiang Ping, like the other students, took the remaining exams. Because of the precedent set by Zhou Xiang, the students from No. 2 High School were particularly well-behaved in the examination room, and no similar incidents occurred.

For Jiang Ping, the remaining exams were not a big problem. Only during the math exam did something happen that made him feel excited.
